Nathaniel Hawthorne's writing, specifically "Dr. Heidigger's Experiment" all of his protagonists are overly-intellectual male characters that are assisted by female characters. Colonel Killigrew and Dr. Heidigger perfectly represent two of Hawthorne's overly-intellectual male characters; they react differently towards the water, have their own personality and have made past and present mistakes that have influenced their lives.

Colonel Killigrew has a different reaction to the water because of one reason, he tried the water and Dr. Heidigger just watched while Killigrew, Medbourne, Wycherly and Gascoigne drink the water from the Fountain of Youth. Colonel Killigrew was very eager to have a second glass of water for the obvious reason of feeling youthful again. He begins to flirt with Widow Wycherly with the line of, "My dear widow, you are charming." (Hawthorne 2) later he asks her for a dance and gets into a fight with the other gentleman, excluding Dr. Heidigger. While everyone was doing their own event; Medbourne creating a wonderfully ludicrous marketing idea involving whales and ice blocks to the East Indies (Hawthorne 2), Wycherly staring into the mirror admiring herself and her young beauty and age (Hawthorne 2) and Gascoigne thinking only of politics (for he was a former politician) (Hawthorne 2) and finally you have Killigrew singing a jolly battle song and ring his glass with the chorus to the song while he was staring at Wycherly. Killigrew ended up taking a pilgrimage to Florida with the four others to search for the Fountain of Youth. Dr. Heidigger very distinctly said that he would never partake in the drinking of the water, " I would not bathe my lips in it [the water]  no, though its delirium were for years instead of moments. Such is the lesson ye have taught me!" (Hawthorne 5) Dr. Heidigger screwed up with this experiment by tricking his friends.

Dr. Heidigger has made many past mistakes and present mistakes in his life including...

...﻿Smart Phones: Windows vs. Android
With time, phones have changed drastically. First from the house phone to the “brick phone,” flip phone and now touch screen. Not too long ago Google and Microsoft Windows created smart phones that were really similar to the Apple iPhone, which was the phone that achieved better management of apps—BlackBerry being the first to launch phone applications. These smart phones are called Android and Windows Phone 7 which differ a lot from each other. When someone is seeking a new phone, one might consider the kinds of features or the things one can perform on the phone itself. Taking this into consideration, the Android phone will be compared to the Windows phone according to features, user interface and customization.
First off, the Android phone and the Windows phone notably vary in features. Android offers a number of capabilities that the windows phone doesn’t have. One of the features is the built-in voice control, which you can use in making calls, dictate a phone SMS message as well as send an e-mail and searching the web by talking instead of typing or tapping. Built-in widgets are a very useful feature as well. Built-in widgets help perform a task, but they are placed in the home screen and are much smaller than full-blown apps. Another feature is the back-up you obtain with Google accounts. When you log in into any Google account in the Android phone it automatically syncs with many Google services. The contacts and the...

...have been
beaten by the expectations that have been set by the stereotype.
The three texts, 'Manurewa', 'Brown Brother' and 'Fish Heads' clearly illustrate that there
are negative stereotypes and low expectations for Polynesians and Maori in New Zealand.
These stereotypes can lead people to feel that they are stuck and defined by their
stereotype. Joshua Iosefo's speech, talked of the stereotype that was his 'demographic'
but also said that Polynesians needed to be responsible for overcoming or changing this
stereotype. In the film 'Manurewa', the inability for Isaac to escape from this cycle of
negativity lead the once caring teenager to associate with bad people and ultimately lead
to him murdering an innocent man. Whereas in contrast, the text 'Fish Heads' showed that
if people are removed from negative environments and influences, they are able to live in a
non-stereotypical way....

Paper #2 Comparison and ContrastDr. Aasgaard English 1500
September 15, 2014
The town that I grew up in has changed so much over the past decade that I really don’t know if I even feel at home when I go there to visit. Since I was eighteen I have moved from place to place only to visit the town I grew up in for brief periods of time and don’t hang around for very long. So its easy for me to miss all the little details that happen on a daily basis. I will now show you just what I mean by examining the town, the people and my inner feelings. I want everyone who reads this to know how my childhood home has changed for me. I want you to feel like I do about an area where I grew up and enjoyed so much of the outdoors that is now a shopping center, a mini mall or a restaurant. Like much of the world developers have striped America of her natural beauty and put up a shopping center.
The most notable change to the town would be the buildings that have been built and the ones that have been knocked down. The in your face type of changes that are impossible to miss the ones that you know are changes that last. When I grew up here in my youth there where endless wooded areas and open fields everywhere a young boy could get lost for days in the wilderness that surrounded by boy hood town. One really felt surrounded by nature because in any general direction you would go there would be a wooded area not too far....

Compare And Contrast Two Of The Major Approaches To Psychological Distress With Particular Reference To Their Theoretical Underpinnings, Therapeutic Approach And Any Ethical Issues.
Elizabeth Foster-Aileru
Clinical Psychology
UEL
Within Clinical psychology approaches such as psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive behavioural therapy, and the systemic family approach are used for persons suffering from mental distress. Here i have looked at two of these approaches systemic family approach and cognitive behavioural therapy.
Dr Freud was born 1856 he was one of the first doctors to become interested and involved in studying human behaviour. He came to the conclusion that some of his medical patients at the time were showing signs of mental distress without having any obvious physical cause .So he then went on to focus his study on the human mind, behaviour and emotions he first looked at human development from early childhood and concluded that some people did not develop in healthy ways. Freud then continued to further analyze children’s behaviours to find out where the start of the problem had emerged or blockages as he called them had transpired from .This was referred to as “psychoanalysis” The origin and development of psychoanalysis (April 1910) the behavioural therapy part of CBT came about when other psychologists throughout history wanted to gain an in depth insight into human behaviour .One of these prominent...

...Discussion Board 3.1 Application of a Grand Theory
Virginia Henderson (1897-1996) is a Nursing Grand Theorist who was often referred to as the “first lady of nursing.”
In the article by Nicely (2011) it depicts how she developed a nursing model which is based on activities of daily living. She believed that nursing as a profession stood separately from medicine.
In this article, I was able to decipher how Henderson’s theory is applied to the specialized area of organ donation for transplantation.
It is reflected that although organ coordinators are from different backgrounds such as: allied health professions, physicians’ assistants, and paramedics, most of them are “registered nurses.”
Nicely (2011) portrays 14 different activities that Henderson identified for patient assistance which would allow patients to return back to independence: “eating and drinking, elimination of body waste, desirable posture/sleep and rest, select suitable clothing: dress and undress, avoiding dangers in the environment and avoid injuring others, maintaining body temperature within normal range, grooming/protecting the integument, communication with others, worship according to one’s faith, play and recreation, learn and discover” (Nicely, 2011, p.73).
Henderson’s activities reflect on how nurses can provide a good foundation in which they can become more proficient in their abilities to provide care for their patients. She stressed the importance...

...Compare and Contrast Gandhi and Dr. King
There exist societal paths which differ based on time and place. These paths may have similar topography and may frequently converge, but each creates a separate journey. The belief in passive resistance is defined through the life choices of two great emancipators: Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi. Passive resistance is a means of bringing about the end to legally executed injustice, specifically through peaceful resistance. Scholars have noted connections between the nonviolent movement of Martin Luther King and the philosophies of Gandhi. The two are closely related and share common and obvious themes. While King and Gandhi concur on the courage nonviolence requires, the deplorable nature of cowardly behavior and the necessity of nonviolence as retaliation to oppressors, their beliefs are also defined by quite distinct divergences. They are giant figures in 20th century history; their views on the speed of change and the degree of suffering which is necessary during revolutions and movements are relatively different. These disparities and similarities form elements of their philosophies and the rather successful outcomes to King and Gandhi’s life purposes.
Martin Luther King is one of the most renowned activists in American history, most legendarily for standing up for racial equality through the seemingly new technique of nonviolence. His notoriety spread...

How do Homer’s the Iliad and Odyssey compare and contrast?
The Iliad begins with Chryses, a prophet of Apollo, coming to a Greek camp and offering valuable “penalty tokens” requesting the return of his daughter who the Greeks had captured in a raid. Because Agamemnon believed she was rightfully his, he refused. Most of his fellow Greeks wanted him to return her in order to avoid conflict. In order to preserve his time (honor, respect, value), Agamemnon brings danger to them all. Chryses prays to Apollo and a plague is released upon the Achaeans. Achilles, a basileus in the Greek army, suggests seeking insight from the prophet Calchas. Upon doing so all are informed that Agamemnon is responsible for the plague because he refused to return his geras (prize), the daughter of Chryses.
In order to preserve his time and relieve the burden of the plague, Agamemnon decides to take someone else’s geras. He threatens to takes Achillesgeraand this make the destructive anger of Achilles “sing”. However, Athena intercedes and causes him to restrain himself. Agamemnon’s men seize hisgera, Briseis, and Achilles refuses to fight. Needing him for a successful battle, they offer him his gera and more, but he refuses. His rage is kindled against Agamemnon. Achilles rejects the system upon which heroic culture was built. Because he receives his...

Baseball vs. Basketball
Baseball and basketball are two very different sports, but the both do relate in some ways. Often times sports fans compare these two sports to determine which they enjoy best. One big comparison between them both is that they are in face both sports. These sports are also both played as teams. Most of the time, these things in common are far outweighed by the differences between the sports. Two sports that are often compared with each other, baseball and basketball, are similar in terms of both being sports played as teams, but they are actually very different in terms of the location the game is played, how the teams score points, the uniforms worn, and the number of active players per team.
The location in which the sport is played is one way sports fans compare baseball and basketball. The location in which the game is played can be a very big decision maker in which sport fans enjoy better. Baseball is played outside; basketball is played inside. This can help sports fans choose which they enjoy more because some fans may only like to watch games played inside or outside and not both. Baseball is played on a diamond shaped field called a baseball field or a baseball diamond. Basketball is played inside a gymnasium and is usually called a basketball court. For sports fans, comparing where the sport is played definitely helps them to determine which sport they enjoy more.
